S.L.I.M. Carbon Technology
S.L.I.M. or Specific Lay-up Interwoven Monocoque uses unique lay-up schedule that carefully places and aligns the carbon pre-preg sheets exactly where they are needed for optimum frame strength and stiffness while maintaining the lowest possible frame weight. The result - a carbon frame that is light enough for the toughest climbs with optimal drive train stiffness and superior vibration damping to keep the rider fresh for the final sprint. And the proof – multiple National Championships. The S.L.I.M. Carbon Technology is produced exclusively for the Diamondback “DBR” Podium 4 and Podium 5.
